Meng Qi looked back, and according to the position where this official was standing before, he recalled that this official should be in charge of the household department, and asked, "Are you the head of the household department?" What is your name? ”

"According to His Majesty's previous surname, the new name is 'Zhao Qian'." The middle-aged man said respectfully.

"Zhao Qian, let's say, what's the matter?" Meng Qi asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, according to your instructions, encourage multiple births and widows to remarry in the city, the former has a good effect, the latter has little effect, and has caused a lot of shock among the residents, some widows who later remarried not only did not receive local rewards according to the rules, but were also ostracized by the people around them, and nearly half of the widows who remarried committed suicide."

"What? Is there such a thing?! Meng Qi's face became cold, he knew that in the era when Minzhi was not fully civilized, encouraging widows to remarry would definitely be hindered, but he didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.

"What use does a local official want from a local official who does not reward widows who later remarry according to the regulations, and also condones the people to exert pressure on them to insult him? All withdrawn! Meng Qi was a little annoyed.

"Your Majesty is angry, if this is the case, then the officials of the three counties and eighteen counties of the entire Hirata Country will be greatly moved." Sangkook next to him stood up and said.

Meng Qi listened to it and fell into deep thought, obviously, such a large-scale change of state officials would affect the stability of the country's foundation, and may even cause local rebellions.

"So what to do?" Meng Qi said coldly.

"It's better to let this matter be stopped, and the incentive policy for widows to remarry will be lifted for the time being." Xiangguo Road.

Meng Qi slowly clenched his fists, and finally shook his head helplessly, but he was secretly ruthless in his heart, he had enough strength in the future, he must implement these policies, and completely popularize the idea of equality between men and women.

"There is also the policy of ordering the release of all slaves, which is also not supported by the local nobles, who still refuse to give up their slaves." Zhao Qian said again.

Meng Qi slapped the dragon chair and scolded, "Those nobles dare to disobey the holy decree? ”

Xiangguo coughed embarrassedly and said, "Nearly eighty percent of the national income of our Pingtian Kingdom comes from the taxes of the nobles, and most of the country's 20,000 troops are in their hands. ”

Meng Qi sneered: "You mean, we can't afford to mess with them anymore?" ”

Xiang Guo wiped a cold sweat, bowed his head and said, "So to speak." ”

"It's a little interesting, which is the biggest nobleman in Hirata Province now? I'm going to meet them. ”

"The Cheng family of Dongzhou County." Zhao Qian said.

"Okay, tell them that I'll visit in person in ten days." Meng Qi sneered, and after speaking, he went back to his dormitory.

Meng Qi sat on the bench and poured himself a cup of tea, but before he could drink it, Xiangguo Liu Neng walked in.

Meng Qi naturally knew that Xiangguo came over for the sake of the nobles, and he thought that he couldn't see Xiangguo Liu Neng, so he drank tea by himself.

Liu Neng stood for a long time, and couldn't hold back and said, "Your Majesty, you must be cautious in this matter." ”

"Do these nobles threaten the survival of Hirata Province?" Meng Qi asked coldly.

Liu Neng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Now the remaining nobles of Pingtian Country are the most loyal families, and the other nobles have been attached to other countries early. ”

"Will there be any of these families who are secretly seeking refuge in other countries?" Meng Qi asked.

"It won't be."

"Then will their nobles have the intention of replacing them?"

"It's... Probably not. Liu Neng's forehead began to ooze fine sweat.

Meng Qi sneered, "Really? Why are you so unsure, let me tell you why, it's because the strength of these nobles is growing day by day, and now they surpass our royal family, and you have no power to restrain them, so whether they will change their minds, you don't even dare to guarantee. ”

"There is an inner room in the court, and I will get rid of it sooner or later, but if this nobleman has a change of heart, he must solve it as soon as possible, just take this opportunity to deter these self-righteous big families to eliminate their dissent." Meng Qi put the teacup heavily on the table, and with a bang, it startled Xiangguo Liu Neng.

"So what to do?" Xiangguo Liu Neng asked in a low voice.

"I have my own way." Meng Qi said.

"Okay, the old minister retires." Xiangguo Liu Neng exited Meng Qi's room.

In the evening, Meng Qi planned a set of plans according to the training method in the TV series in his memory, recorded it on paper, handed it to Zhang Dagen of Dazhuguo, and instructed Zhang Dagen to train them strictly from the next day.

Zhang Dagen naturally obeyed the order unconditionally.

Since appointing Zoro to protect himself, Meng Qi arranged for someone to add an extra bed in his room for Zoro to sleep in.

Sauron has the task of protecting His Majesty, he sleeps at night sitting on the bed, leaning against the wall, holding the sword in his arms, and wakes up at the slightest movement.

Seeing that he was so dutiful to protect himself, Meng Qi was both moved and relieved, and he instructed the kitchen to prepare an extra tonic medicine for himself every day and leave it for Sauron.

Early the next morning, Meng Qi came to the Hiss Mountains to check the training of special forces.

As soon as the sky was bright, the mountains in the distance were still immersed in light mist, and the slogan of exercise sounded in the mountains, and when Meng Qi arrived, he found that these twelve people were all sweating, and it could be seen that they had been training for a long time.

When Zhang Dagen saw Meng Qi coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "I've seen Your Majesty." ”

Meng Qi nodded and instructed: "In the past few days, the hidden combat capability has been intensified and the training has been intensified, and in a few days, I will test it." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Dagen received the order.

Meng Qi looked at it for a while, then left with Sauron.

A few days later, Meng Qi and Zoro traveled lightly, paid a private visit, and prepared to go to a nearby town to eat some local food, and by the way, test the latent ability of the 12 special forces.

Pingtian country has been peaceful for many years, the residents of the city live and work in peace and contentment, a peaceful scene, Meng Qi walked on the road, looked at the surrounding stalls, shops, passers-by, and felt that he had the responsibility to protect their stability, and the premise of all this is that the country becomes stronger, and the fist is the last word.

Meng Qi stopped in front of a stall, pretending to be picking out the small decorations in his hand, raised his head and looked around casually, and asked Zoro next to him, "What do you think of the hidden ability of those twelve people?" ”

At this time, the 12 special forces had actually been following Meng Qi's surroundings, and the task was to follow Meng Qi and try not to be discovered by Meng Qi.

Zoro didn't even look up, and said lightly: "Among the twelve, three of them did well, and the rest were unqualified. ”

Meng Qi nodded, he was naturally convinced of Sauron's words.

At noon, Meng Qi came to the more famous Zhuqing Tavern in the city to eat.

After the two sat down, Meng Qi ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine, and after a while, Xiao Er came over with the dishes.

Zoro glanced casually in the direction of Xiao Er, and a cold color flashed in his eyes.

As soon as Xiao Er put down the dish, Zoro got up, grabbed Xiao Er's arm, and pressed it directly on the table.

Xiao Er's face was squeezed and deformed by the table, and he slurred his mouth: "Hero spare his life!" Heroes spare their lives. ”

Meng Qi on the side was stunned, he put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Sauron, and pointed to the dishes on the table.

Zoro nodded.

Obviously, someone in this dish was poisoned, and Meng Qi's face became cold.

"Whoever instructed you will spare your life." Meng Qi looked down at the shopkeeper who was sticking to the table.

"I don't know, I don't know anything." The shopkeeper said with a crying voice.

"Look for death!" Zoro pushed a little harder and directly broke one of the shopkeepers' hands.

"Ahh The shopkeeper howled in pain.

"Please spare me, it was a white-haired old man who gave the villain a piece of silver and told the villain to do so, that old man, the villain really doesn't know it!" The shopkeeper and the pan were out, tears and snot sticking together, dripping on the table.
